Webhooks (Beta)

We've rolled out the initial stages of our support for Webhooks. This allows you to send data from Subscribe actions (including custom fields) to your own specified endpoint.

It's currently in BETA for Business customers, just submit a support ticket.

Multi-page Custom Field Separator

You can now split the User Details form up into multiple steps if you want to capture certain details from a campaign.

Step 1 - User Details

Step 2 - Custom Fields

9th November

We've made available 2 new button types for the Tab Install in Competitions. You can see one in action on our Competitions page.

29th October

New WYSIWYG Action Builder

We just released a visual builder for creating content inside actions (and a few other places like terms & conditions). This also comes with a bonus button generator which supports the usual Font Awesome icons 😎

27th October

Improved Facebook Visit Action

We've improved our Facebook Visit action to function in a similar way to our Google+ Visit.

This now means that it's a two step process:

User Visits Facebook Page

Has the chance to Optionally Like the Page or click Continue.

New Media Submit Action

Up until now submitting media from different social sources required multiple actions. We've listened to customers who want a flexible consolidated media submit action.

Facebook + Twitter Photo Submit Improvements

Facebook Photo submit actions now function more like Instagram and Twitter by pulling in the last 21 photos to select from. Facebook Photo Submit now also supports #hashtag filtering too.

We've also increased the number of historical Twitter messages we'll scan looking for images.

Photo Duplicate Checking

All media submit actions now have duplicate photo checking, we were seeing issues were users could submit the same image over and over again.

Photo Captions

Upload actions now support the ability to allow users to add a Caption to their photo.

This caption will also flow through to Galleries.

25th September

Improved Interval Options For Photo Submit + Import Actions

Up until recently you could only allow users to submit a single photo or submit a photo daily. This works well for widget based submissions but is not ideal when you're importing data from #hashtags.

We've improved this to allow you to choose how often you'd like users to be able to submit a photo, this will also propagate to the #hashtag import part of the action:

Once will only pull in the first #hashtag from that user we find

Hourly will pull in the first #hashtag that we find in the hour

Daily will pull in the first #hashtag we find from that day

Unlimited will pull in all images for all users

21st September

Unexpected Outage Postmortem

At 3.55am AEST we started getting notifications of degraded performance across our network. Then suddenly, everything stopped working, none of our servers were talking to one another.

As a startup this is your worst nightmare, entire systems just failing during the middle of the night without explanation. We are actually prepared for this scenario with redundant failovers of systems.

But this was different, all our hardware was completely fine. For some reason none of the servers were able to communicate with each other.

After some back and forth with the datacenter we were notified that some upstream network hardware in the datacenter failed, which had completely killed the internal network. So our servers could accept information from the outside, but not transmit it internally (when you have 20+ servers this is a fairly serious problem). We waited for them to replace the hardware and restore the network which happened at 4.41am AEST.

We're sincerely sorry for what happened this morning, even 1 minute of downtime is unacceptable for us.

6th August

Backend UI Updates

We've added a few features to improve the backend UI experience, particularly when it comes to accessing or dealing with larger amounts of data.

Multi-select Rows + Filtering Improvements

We've improved the ability to filter and manipulate data in tables across the app. This means you can delete actions in bulk, invalidate them and even moderate images in bulk inside Galleries.

Users Page Filtering

You can not also filter your users page by campaigns, this means you can see a rollup of total activity by user (and also export it).

Exporting at a campaign level will also export the Viral Share URL incase you need to do a mid-campaign blast or update to users asking them to share again.

21st July

New URL Shortening Engine

You may not be aware but for a long time we were exclusively using Bit.ly to shorten links inside campaigns. Bit.ly made some changes earlier in the year that started limiting accounts to 10k shortens a month, a limit that we would use up in about 10 minutes.

We still allow you to use your own Bit.ly account under Settings > Integrations, however we needed a solution to shorten links for everyone.

Today we're pleased to announce the rollout of wn.nr, our short domain for campaigns. It's even shorter than Bit.ly, and what's more we don't need to worry about any limits now.

It'll be on by default on any campaign, unless of course you activate the Bit.ly integration.

Enjoy!

5th July

Backend Dashboard Improvements

We've made some backend changes to improve how fast campaign stats are displayed in the backend. No more waiting for stats to load, should be instantenous now (even on large campaigns with Millions of entries).

3rd July

Improved Choosing Winners

We've pushed some updates to make the process of picking winners for your giveaways much easier. In the past it was a 3 step process to revoke each invalid winner (which sucked).

You can pick winners without needing to refresh the page (wow!)

Can repick a winner in a single click now.

You can also revoke winners in a single click.

Enjoy!

4th June

Google+ Updates - New Visit Action

We've made some changes to bring our Google+ action more in line with the Facebook Visit action and Google's guidelines. It's now a two step process.

Once you complete the visit part of the action the user can optionally +1 your page or follow your page. You can choose which secondary action you would like the user to take during setup.

Auto Expanding Actions

We've push an update to widgets that will now auto expand the first action for both competitions & rewards if:

There's only 1 action

If there's only 1 mandatory action

This allows for a much cleaner user experience (and also allows you to draw attention to a particular action first).
